Well, I've been playing on one for a couple of days and I must say that I'm very impressed. It's a great sounding little amp and has enough power to play in one of those little trios at a small bar. I really like the tone but wish that instead of the vibrato thing that it would have a tone knob or something. The vibrato effect can be shut off completely because the knob clicks at zero to let you know it's completely off.
The speaker handles the volume pretty well, but I don't really like how it sounds full volume. It hardly gets louder past about 3/4 volume, but it gets more distorted in a real fuzzy, softly broken up way. That's not really my thing, but if you reduce the volume on your guitar to about 7-8 it cleans up just enough to give you a really nice smooth and mild overdrive.
Still, priced at $999 is just beyond what I'd pay for it. However, I really like that little amp. I wish Fender would get rid of the vibrato feature, put a tone knob, and sell it for $399.
Small amps have never been my thing, but something about this one really grabs me. Just for grins, I hooked up my Maxon TBO9 (mini tube boosted overdrive) to see what kind of lead tone I could get. It was surprisingly good. It tightened up a little of the fuzziness and I was able to get a really great lead tone. I'll be looking for clones of that amp to see if I can find one at a much lower cost.
